THE TALISMANS OF AWESTRUCK DREAD: 11th Lunar Mansion with Mars. This is one of those experimental elections which either curse the living shit out of me or work fabulously. Somebody needs to test this stuff out, might as well be me. Kids, don’t try this at home! The Moon is slow, too slow to normally…

GEMS OF BEDAZZLING ARDOR: The Talismans of the Twenty-Sixth Mansion. PICATRIX RUBEUS page 292: “When the Moon is passing through it, take white wax and mastic and melt them together; from these fashion the image of a woman with her hair unbound and before her a vessel placed as if to receive her hair. Suffumigate it…

I am coming of the opinion that lodestone is co-ruled by the Sun. It commands iron to move from a distance.

When addressing stellar entities, aim to get the gender right. Many will withhold their full effects if one addresses them incorrectly. The gender of planetary entities follows that of the planet, unless the ymage is contrary that one is using. The gender of Face spirits appear to be all male, so far as I can…

THE RINGS OF THE KISS OF DARKNESS: Venus in Zero Scorpio, Cazimi. [I am only including this post, unedited, for historical purposes. This was one of the dumbest, riskiest, and most malefic talismans I’ve ever created. It did not work as intended, but was a magnet for terrible misfortune. Awful.] This is the first set…

THE RINGS OF THE DRAGONFIRE KISS: The talisman of Venus in Libra, embraced by the Sun and conjoined with the Dragon’s Head. This was one hell of an experimental election. It’s one of the potentially strongest Venus elections possible masquerading as one of the worst. Let’s start with the basics. Venus Day but not Hour,…

Animal, vegetable, and mineral. The threefold circuit is what completes magic. This is true in the science of ymages, and appears in Hoodoo as well in the construction of mojo bags. I wonder how many magical traditions use this secret to greater power.

TALISMANS OF UNION: The Talismans of Nedeyrahe, Lord of the Sixth Mansion of the Moon. Picatrix says in the Pseudo-Pliny Mansions: “The sixth Mansion is Achaya and it is for putting love between two people. When the Moon is passing through this Mansion, make two images from white wax, make them embrace each other, and…

THE RINGS OF SPLENDOR: The talismans of Zachor, the 2nd Face of Leo. As indicated elsewhere, this was a highly experimental talisman. It not only used a somewhat imperfect election, but the decan’s attributes are largely unpleasant. And yet, I believe it is actually rather desirable in extreme. “There rises in the second face of Leo…

THE RINGS OF LIBERATION: Sun in Leo. This is a good solid Sun talisman, which I make every year. Sun Day but not Sun Hour, planet in domicile but not triplicity, Moon fast and unafflicted though cadent, Sun unafflicted. The Moon’s Sign Ruler is cadent as well, and normally I’d deem this a problem but…
